Police in Melbourne have raided at least seven properties linked to the Comancheros outlaw motorcycle gang.

Police say detectives from Taskforce Echo are involved in the operation across the CBD and south-eastern suburbs, including raids in Narre Warren South, Boronia, Lysterfield South, Dewhurst, Hampton Park and Hallam.

Police have been involved in a very public campaign to crack down on motorcycle gangs since last year.

In October 2013, police launched a major operation against the Hells Angels, involving over 700 police officers.
